data for the encoder. This is communicated through a fifo to the encoder. It
also reads DLS from a file, and includes this information in the PAD.
+If ImageMagick is available
+---------------------------
It can read all file formats supported by ImageMagick, and by default resizes
them to 320x240 pixels, and compresses them as JPEG. If the input file is already
a JPEG file of the correct size, and smaller than 50kB, it is sent without further
compression. If the input file is a PNG that satisfies the same criteria, it is
transmitted as PNG without any recompression.
+RAW Format
+----------
+If ImageMagick is not available, or when enable with the -R option, the images
+are not modified, and are transmitted as-is. Use this if you can guarantee that
+the generated files are smaller than 50kB and exactly 320x240 pixels.

+Character Sets
+--------------
+When *mot-encoder* is launched with the default character set encoding, it assumes

+If you set the character set encoding to anything else, *mot-encoder* will not perform

Known Limitations
